Honey Jerk Salmon

 Ok gather up your fish haters! They won't be able to resist this one!

Ingredients:

2 tbsps extra light olive oil

4 salmon fillets

1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

1 tsp dried thyme 

1 tsp allspice

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp powdered garlic

1/4 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

zest of 1/2 lemon

2 tbsps brown sugar

juice of 1/2 lemon

4 tbsps honey

4 tbsps water

First, pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Then combine everything from the salt to the brown sugar inclusive. Massage this mixture into both sides of the fish.

                                      

Add the lemon juice, spooning some onto each fillet. Marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F

In an oven proof pan (I wish mine had more shallow sides!) heat the oil to medium high. Cook the salmon for 4 minutes then gently turn them over and place in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.

Mix the honey and water together. Bring the pan back to the stove top and pour the honey/water in.

Again cook on medium high heat until the liquid starts to bubble, then reduce to low heat and baste until fully coated, 2-3 minutes.

Serve drizzled with any remaining glaze from the pan and some of your favourite sides. Here I've got rice and peas along with a Sweet Kale Salad (link to the recipe below)
